OK. First we need to contact the authorities to make sure its not going to be a problem or breaking any laws, but if we suggested that we gathered on the Corniche perhaps at the Sheraton end where the grassy park is, or over towards the Airport area, on the ground opposite the Port area, where the grassy verge is by the Museum - perhaps that would be big enough. But maybe we've got to see what the authorities suggest. He did live over by the airport. I'll speak to one of his extended family members.

Anyone got contacts with the ministries, and speaks arabic?

Angelwings.

If the grass is greener on the other side, its sure the water bill is higher !
